"In its five years so far, the Obama administration has removed nearly 2 million immigrants, the highest number of deportations under any president." That's not really true. Obama used smoke and mirrors to report deportations. REMEMBER: "If you like your plan, you will be able to keep it. Period." http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na...A.+Times+-+Most+Viewed+Stories)#axzz2o03pBSRX
From your source- what part is not true? WASHINGTON — The number of immigrants deported from the country decreased this year for the first time since President Obama came into office, reflecting the impact of new policies intended to focus enforcement on immigrants with criminal backgrounds. Both sides in the highly contentious debate over immigration policy seized on the annual figures released Thursday by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Advocates for immigrants, who have repeatedly criticized the administration for the high levels of deportations under Obama's tenure, said the approximately 369,000 immigrants deported in the 12 months ending Sept. 30 remained too many. Conservative groups denounced the decline as a sign of lax law enforcement . In its five years so far, the Obama administration has removed nearly 2 million immigrants, the highest number of deportations under any president. The roughly 10% decline from last year's record-high 409,849 deportations involved several changes in administration policy over the last two years. The change with the biggest effect, officials said, was the move to give higher priority to deporting immigrants with criminal records and multiple immigration violations. Finding and removing criminals in the country without visas takes longer than deportations in noncriminal cases, officials noted. http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-deportations-drop-20131220,0,4172504.story#ixzz2o214kuZq
